Coronavirus Vaccine Dashboard Reports, maps, and charts are best viewed on a desktop or tablet. Background Information Two dashboards are maintained by NVRC to track coronavirus cases and vaccine data for the Northern Virginia region. The coronavirus information found in the dashboards is sourced from the Virginia Department of Health (VDH). ​ In addition to the regional information, statewide information can be found on VDH's coronavirus website. Coronavirus Vaccine Administration This dashboard contains coronavirus vaccine administration information and trend information for the region and its health districts. The coronavirus information is sourced from the Virginia Department of Health. Track total doses administered, persons vaccinated with at least one dose, and persons fully vaccinate. November 22, 2022 Dashboard Updates NVRC updated its Vaccines Dashboard on November 22, 2022 to streamline information to better highlight current trends and monitor information most relevant to this point in the pandemic. ​ 1. Data Consolidation: Consolidated all vaccine data into one dashboard page. Retired one-dose data dashboard and fully vaccinated dashboard. ​ 2. Locality Comparison: Retired dose per 100,000 locality comparison chart. Locality comparison charts now display bar graphs comparing the percentage of people fully vaccinated and boosted. ​ 3. Age Groups: Added age 0-4 data and removed age 12+ data. ​ 4. Age 65+ VDH Data Issue: NVRC reports Virginia Department of Health (VDH) data. VDH Age 65+ booster data appears to be erroneous, for instance percentages are higher than 100% and boosted persons should not be less than fully vaccinated persons . VDH has been made aware of this issue by NVRC. Until VDH data corrects the data, the data will appear erroneous on NVRC's dashboard, for instances of percentages greater than 100 percent . ​ Interpretation of the Data The data are by administration date. The administration date is the actual date when the administration of a vaccination occurred. Data reflects health records that had been input into VDH's VIIS database system as of the prior day. All administered vaccinations for an administration date may not have been input. The data for prior administration dates will be updated daily as data is received. Healthcare providers have up to 72 hours after administration to input and submit information, shown by the gray shaded area on the graph. Gray shaded areas contain incomplete data. ​ The vaccination figures for the Northern Virginia region and the health districts include administered doses that were distributed by VDH. They also include doses administered through the Federal CDC Pharmacy Partnership for Long Term Care Facilities and the Federal CDC Federal Retail Pharmacy Program. They do not include doses administered to Virginia residents through the federal workers program. They also do not include vaccinations of residents of Virginia that VDH does not have information on the place of residence. The Northern Virginia and health district figures are under-reported by VDH. In other words, the Northern Virginia and health district figures are higher than the listed amounts. Therefore, caution should be used when interpreting and using this data. ​ Doses Administered: This number represents the total doses administered, regardless of whether it was a person's first dose or a second dose. This number will be greater than the number of people who have received at least one dose because some people will have received more than one dose. This number may be less than the sum of the number of people who have received at least one dose and the number of people fully vaccinated because some people will have been fully vaccinated with one dose. ​ People Vaccinated with at Least One Dose: People who have received one dose. ​ People Fully Vaccinated: People who have completed the recommended series of a given vaccine product (e.g. 1 dose of Johnson and Johnson, 2 doses of the 2-dose Pfizer or Moderna vaccine series). ​ Total Population: The total population is from the U.S. Census Bureau's Population Estimates Program, 2019 Vintage Estimates. ​ To Navigate the Dashboard Displayed Below Select the measure for the bar chart: total tests or percent positive. Select the health district of interest. The default is Northern Virginia, which is actually not a health district, but this option is provided for regional summarization of the region's health districts. Vaccine

Coronavirus Testing Dashboard Reports, maps, and charts are best viewed on a desktop or tablet. Background Information Two dashboards are maintained by NVRC to track coronavirus cases and vaccine data for the Northern Virginia region. The coronavirus information found in the dashboards is sourced from the Virginia Department of Health (VDH). ​ In addition to the regional information, statewide information can be found on VDH's coronavirus website. Testing Data Coronavirus Testing January 12, 2023 NOTICE Beginning, Januay 12, 2023, NVRC's Northern Virginia testing dashboard has been retired. The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) retired their testing dashboard at the end of December and NVRC has followed suit. VDH and NVRC testing dashboards are retired because the number of tests and the percent positivity no longer truly captures what is happening in communities. This comes as at-home COVID-19 tests are widely available now and not required to be reported to the Virginia Department of Health. This results in a significant number of tests going unreported today, which makes the reported testing data not representative of the actual circumstances in communities.

Race and Ethnicity Overall Reports, maps, and charts are best viewed on a desktop or tablet. Key Facts Race and Ethnicity Overall A big story of the region is its diversification and majority-minority transition. There will soon be a day when the majority of people will belong to a minority group (any group other than non-Hispanic White alone). Much of this is attributed to the sizable increases in the number of Hispanics, Asians, and multiracial persons in the region. ​ The following charts show the region's race, ethnic, and minority breakdown for Northern Virginia and its counties and cities. Hispanic and Latino are displayed separately from race because Hispanic and Latino is an ethnic classification and not a race classification. Hispanic and Latino persons can be of any race. Minorities are defined as anyone other than a person self-identifying as white non-Hispanic. Annual Estimates Data Annual estimates of population paint a portrait of the annual growth patterns in the towns of Northern Virginia. Annual estimates are not based on a full census of the population. Rather, they are estimates based on a compilation of multiple administrative data pieces such as birth records and residential building permits. The estimates are benchmarked to the Decennial Census. The 2010 to 2019 estimates are benchmarked to the 2010 Decennial Census. The 2020 Decennial Census data was released on August 12, 2021. Using the results of the 2020 Decennial Census, the annual estimates for 2010 to 2019 shown below will be adjusted later on by the U.S. Census Bureau in 2023. Until the data is adjusted, the following data will not correspond exactly with the results of the 2020 Census. However, the estimates are relatively close and useful for identifying trends a Decennial Census Data The Decennial Census is based on a survey of the entire population. It is conducted once a decade. The 2020 Decennial Census population was released on August 12, 2021. The Decennial Census regional, county, and city population data is shown in the interactive charts that follow. Comparisons of changes in race and ethnicity between 2020 and prior years should be viewed with caution. According to the Census Bureau, “The observed changes in the multiracial population could be attributed to a number of factors, including demographic change since 2010. But we expect they were largely due to the improvements to the design of the two separate questions for race and ethnicity, data processing, and coding, which enabled a more thorough and accurate depiction of how people prefer to self-identify.” For details on the changes please view the U.S. Census Bureau's technical information .

Foreign Born and Immigrants Overall Reports, maps, and charts are best viewed on a desktop or tablet. Key Facts Foreign Born Population Overall The Washington, D.C. metropolitan area is one of the most diverse in the country when taking into consideration the minority and foreign born (immigrant) population make-up. Northern Virginia contains a sizable amount of the metropolitan area's diverse population. The foreign born or immigrant population is transforming the region. Note, the terms foreign born and immigrant are used interchangeably throughout the NOVA Region Dashboard. It is immigration that has been driving many of the major demographic trends in the region , including: School enrollment changes Sizable increases in the number of Hispanics and Asians Population and employment growth ​ Note: The 2020 ACS one-year estimates will not be released due to the impacts the COVID-19 pandemic on data collection and a lower response rate. The ACS collected only two-thirds of the responses it typically collects in a survey year. It did not meet the Census Bureau’s data quality standards. Therefore, 2019 ACS one-year estimates are the latest shown on our dashboard for the one-year estimates. Foreign Born Population Share - Current 2016 to 2020 Five-Year Estimates All jurisdictions in the United States are included in the five-year American Community Survey estimates. The share of the population that is foreign born, for all jurisdictions in Northern Virginia, is displayed in this graph. Northern Virginia's foreign born population share is 27.8%. All Northern Virginia jurisdiction's have a foreign born population share that is greater than the Commonwealth of Virginia and the United States. Out of all 3,143 jurisdictions in the USA, all are ranked #146 or higher. The region's highest ranked are Manassas Park City (6th), Fairfax County (22nd), and Fairfax City (30th), each of which have a greater foreign born population share than New York County, New York (Manhattan) (28.3% and 34th). Back in 2000, all jurisdictions in Northern Virginia had a foreign born population share that was less than Manhattan. These high ranks of the region's jurisdictions are indicative of a transforming region and the very diverse population of Northern Virginia and the DC metropolitan area. Foreign Born Population Share - Current 2019 One-Year Estimates Those jurisdictions with a population of 65,000 or more are included in the one-year American Community Survey estimates. The share of the population that is foreign born, for all jurisdictions in Northern Virginia, is displayed in this graph. All Northern Virginia jurisdiction's have a foreign born population share that is greater than the Commonwealth of Virginia and the United States. Out of the 829 jurisdictions with a population of 65,000 or more in the USA, all are ranked #55 or higher, with the region's highest ranked, large jurisdiction being Fairfax County, ranked 17th with a foreign born population of 31.4%. Fairfax County has a greater foreign born population share than New York County, New York (Manhattan) (27.8% and 25th) and Orange County, California (29.9% at 18th). Back in 2000, all jurisdictions in Northern Virginia had a foreign born population share that was less than Manhattan. These high and changing ranks for the region's jurisdictions are indicative of the very diverse population and a transforming region of Northern Virginia and the DC metropolitan area. Foreign Born Population Share - Historic Compared to Current Five-Year Estimates Immigration has been driving many of the major demographic trends in the region. The foreign born population is transforming the region. Northern Virginia's population was 21.4% foreign born in 2000 and has risen to 27.8% (2016-2020 ACS 5Yr Estimate). Similar to today, back in 2000 all Northern Virginia jurisdictions had a foreign born population share that was greater than the Commonwealth of Virginia and the United States. What is different is that all jurisdictions in the region, except Arlington, have seen their foreign born population share increase. The greatest transformations have occurred in the four outer-core jurisdictions of Loudoun, Manassas City, Manassas Park, and Prince William. These four outer-core jurisdictions are the same jurisdictions that comprise a majority of the region's overall population growth. Foreign Born Population Share - Historic Compared to Current One-Year Estimates The foreign born population trend, for the regions large jurisdictions (population of 65,000 or more), is shown in the following graphs. The legal status of non-citizens is unknown and not collected by the U.S. Census Bureau in any of its data sets. Key Facts: ​ Loudoun and Prince William Counties have been on the rise in their total foreign born population from 2010 to 2019. Fairfax County's foreign born population was on the rise from 2010 to 2017. In 2018 there was a decline in Fairfax County that was statistically significant. From 2018 to 2019 this population held fairly steady, with 2019 not statistically different from 2018. Alexandria and Arlington's foreign born populations have dropped from 2017 or 2018 to 2019. These are statistically significant drops. Overall, from 2011 to 2017 the region's five largest jurisdictions combined had experienced an increase. Overall, from 2017 to 2018 the region's five largest jurisdictions combined saw a decline of approximately 8,000. Between 2017 and 2018 there were increases in the region's naturalized citizen population. The absolute decrease was attributable to non-citizen populations migrating out of the area in greater amounts than naturalized citizens moving into the area. For comparison, from 2017 to 2018 the nation experienced its smallest increase in the foreign born population since 2010. Like the region, the nation experienced an increase in naturalized citizens and a decline in non-citizens from 2017 to 2018. The nation's slow growth was attributable to an absolute decline in the number of non-citizens. Overall, from 2018 to 2019 the region's large jurisdictions combined experienced minimal change in the foreign born population. The naturalized and non-citizen population also experienced minimal change.

Immigration Study Reports, maps, and charts are best viewed on a desktop or tablet. The Northern Virginia Regional Commission was pleased to collaborate with the Partnership for a New American Economy (NAE) and the Community Foundation for Northern Virginia on the study, One Region: Welcoming New Americans to Northern Virginia. ​ The original study was published on March 12, 2020. It is a study of the economic impact of immigrants to the region. An addendum to the study was published on October 21, 2020 that provides immigrant data relevant to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis response . The research was conducted by NAE. NAE has undertaken similar studies throughout the United States.​ ​ This One Region report dashboard summarizes and reports on immigration in the Northern Virginia region. This dashboard provides quick access to key data pieces found in the report. This One Region immigration dashboard provides data not only of the overall Northern Virginia region, but also on the localities within the region . ​ A webinar was hosted on October 21, 2020. For copies of the presentations and video recording go to the webinar webpage. Download a copy of the original report, published March 2020 Overview of the One Region Report The One Region report is a comprehensive picture of new Americans in Northern Virginia (NOVA). It highlights the size and rapid growth in the immigrant population in the region and their impact on the local economy, including injecting more money into local businesses, property markets, and municipal budgets as consumers, homebuyers, and taxpayers. ​ Immigrants are major contributors to Northern Virginia's (NOVA) economy as highlighted in the report. The NOVA immigrant population is diverse. These people emigrate, seeking a better life for themselves and their families. “Immigrants are a vital part of the economic and social fabric of Northern Virginia. Their success is our success, and we must continue to be a welcoming community for all to ensure our long-term prosperity,” said P. David Tarter, Chairman of the Northern Virginia Regional Commission and Mayor of the City of Falls Church. Immigrants are an indispensable part of the local Northern Virginia economy at all levels, as workers, business owners, taxpayers and consumers. Trivia: What is the foreign born share of the population in NOVA? Source: U.S Census Bureau, 2018 American Community Survey, 5-Year Estimates. 27.6% Immigrants widen and deepen the labor market with a vast array of skills and levels of expertise. They help businesses, farms, and factories fill workforce gaps at all levels of the labor market, allowing companies to meet market demands and expand their operations, which leads to more job creation. ​ * Except where otherwise noted, the term “immigrant” and “foreign-born” are used interchangeably throughout the NOVA Region Dashboard and in the "One Region" report. One Region Report Addendum on COVID-19 Response ​This brief provides a glimpse at the role of immigrants in Northern Virginia during the Covid-19 pandemic as well as the impact that the pandemic has had on the immigrant community. ​ The immigrant population is especially vulnerable to gaps in our social safety nets. Understanding this population in Northern Virginia helps better inform local leaders as they aim to implement inclusive emergency response policies. The immigrant population is essential to our country’s rapid COVID-19 response efforts. Download a copy of the COVID-19 addendum report published October 2020 Data Charts and Key Findings by Report Topic (best viewed on desktop) The data is sourced from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) five-year estimates, as well as other sources. The ACS is a survey based on a sample of the population. Sample surveys include a degree of uncertainty and error in the data. The larger the population and housing units of an area or data variable, the more reliable the ACS data. The Northern Virginia regional data is more reliable than the county level data that is presented in the data charts. Users should interpret the data by keeping this in mind.
